Looks a good buy - especially if the mileage is genuine

Epic! Oh, and congratulations on getting married

No, this is what Flex was mentioning: http://www.350z-uk.c...to-photobucket/ You can then copy the 'Direct Link' option on the PB picture of choice and then using the "Full Editor" on here click on the square green image box put it in the url section and OK and then pic sizes are not limited to 95k

The numbers this year and with so many newbies and hardly any cancellations was the best ever - testament to feedback from previous years as the event has grown and grown. But for those of us who have been involved in the organisation, year after year and given the drives available are limited for such large numbers, the repetitiveness is something we are aware may not only be wearing thin on those who have regularly supported but those of us involved directly each year. Hence this thread to see what members think and yes, hopefully bring forward new ideas for what is arguably the forum's premier annual meet/drive/social get-to-get her, so that it is something to look forward to for all.

Top man right to the finish Sent from the golf club... I second that, and hope you will stick around on here. Thread heading updated.

Just rembered I'm in West Sussex now Only kidding Annie, welcome back to good 'ole Blighty - mind you don't expect to top up on your sun tan

Different rules on private ground but as an example 12 car road rallies do not allow for any breaches of public road speed limits and Highway Code but if they include private farm tracks as timed stages then that is down to the organizers, but who first have to obtain RACMSA approval and carry out all sorts of consultation with neighbouring landowners. More info here: https://www.msauk.or...asp?article=774 Many events held solely on private land are not run under RACMSA rules but, for instance, there are Town Planning controls over the number of such events held on private land each year.

The RACMSA control rallying/racing on public roads and closing roads means authorised organising Clubs have to jump through all sorts of hoops to do that including Acts of Parliament in some cases. Anyone/group found organising/taking part in any rallying/road racing without RACMSA authority would be in breach of the Road Traffic Acts, Highway Code etc, hence why 'Clubs' like ours have to be very careful when drive-outs are arranged to ensure no competition/racing etc is involved, or perceived by the police or others.

Very 'muggy' type of day yesterday - just the conditions for a/c to do this.

That blue and white combo with the added tweaks and stance works really well - nice job

My thoughts: Speed limits were set (30 mph in 1934 and 70mph in 1965) when the majority of cars/vans/lorries at that time were a liability at anything over those limits. We are now nearly fifty years on from the 70 limit being set and car technology has moved on just a bit ( ) remembering that motorways were originally conceived to get traffic around the country more quickly. What has happened? With the number of vehicles on the road having increased dramatically since 1965, the congestion has slowed traffic to the point where areas of the motorways need gantry signs to slow us even more. Fair enough, I can see the merit in that given accident potential is inherently more dangerous as vehicles bunch up simply by the pure numbers on the road. But when the motorways are running freely all we see is drivers testing the 70 limit - and we all know that if you stick to 70 you are going to be passed by all and sundry with the outside lane often being the more congested as drivers add a few mph more and pressure the car/van in in front to move over. Now I admit to not knowing the accident comparison stats between German autobahns and our motorways and I have also never driven on the autobahns, but if those deristricted roads were causing horrendus levels of accidents I have no doubt they would not be deristricted now. Which begs the thoughts in my mind that drivers become more attuned to differential speeds and greater respect is given to those cars which are seen to be quite capable of travelling safely at 100mph+. i.e. there is not the need to prove 'mine is quicker than yours or my journey is more important than yours @ 70mph'. It seems to end the tailgating (the most dangerous aspect in my book on motorways) and means everyone gets to their destination both quicker and more safely. Oh, and the sooner lorries are given an overtake button or similar, particularly on two lane motorways, the better for safety all round rather than the several miles it will take some to complete their overtake given the speed limits they are set

If you need some feeler guages my tool box is old enough to carry a few sets

Didn't you do well!! How good is that, and sober enough to take awesome pics for us - thanks Chris

If only I were single again I would have joined you like a shot Very envious, but really going to look forward to your write ups and pics.

That change seemed to been missed by those mentioning DTV, noting you said the issue remained after changing discs. That suggested to me something else was amiss. Hence why I thought your idea to visit a well respected ex HPC Nissan Technician was a good idea,

Good call - never want to leave a braking issue longer than is absolutely necessary.

I was thinking more like one of these: http://www.jialingmo...tor Scooter.htm

That is very low for another car to cause those vertical scrapes so far down - makes me wonder whether it was a small-wheeled motor scooter has done that damage - just mentioning that in case there is cctv showing the culprit exiting the car park with a damaged mudguard? and yes it is criminal damage/failing to stop after an accident (or not leaving a note) - if cctv evidence were available I would hope police would follow up that one Just so bloody annoying, especially when you took the trouble to park in a place to try and avoid the hooligans.

It is but it does not suit the 370 handling and turn-in IMO, having tried it. It is also surprising how much the overall diameter shrinks with the 35 profile so that the tyres appear more lost in the arches

This any help Mart? http://www.yell.com/...ng-cumbria.html

Come on Will. lets some up to date pics rather than pirated ones originally taken in 2008, as nice as it is looking at that last pic https://www.flickr.c...ostess-azafatas

WARNING... Lots of doughnuts on Saturday! (Best in full screen mode)

Depends how you enjoy your driving. Both have their merits (having tried an Auto) but the drive for me it is more rewarding with a manual and the synchro-rev adds to pleasure of manual shifts and with a decent exhaust that makes you feel you are in something just a little bit special That is not to say that if my circumstances dictated a lot of commuting where it is near on impossible to get the car anywhere near full chat, that an auto might be my choice
